new to fantasy, please help with WR and RB start/bench

Postby jtmcanin » Tue Oct 12, 2010 11:24 pm

I am in a small league only 6 teams that plays strictly off points, person at the end of season with most points wins, in a non-ppr standard yahoo scoring system. but i am in last place and would really appreciate any advice. Over the past 2 weeks I have picked up some new players and this is who i have now..

here is my roster:
QB: Brees
WR: Reggie Wayne, Austin Collie, Braylon Edwards, Brandon Tate, Eddie Royal, Danny Amendola
RB: Ladainian Tomlinson, Peyton Hillis, Matt Forte, Ahmad Bradshaw
TE: Dallas Clark
K: Matt Bryant
DEF: Chicago

FOR WEEK 6 WHICH RBs and WRs SHOULD I START/BENCH? --allowed 3 WR and 2 RB

-Thanks for any advice/help

You need to search the wire for better receiver talent.

You'll be fine at QB if/when Brees wakes up.

I'd start Forte/Tomlinson at RB and Wayne/Amendola/Collie at WR

Long story short your team is not very good for only a six team league.

Who are some of the available wr/rb in your league???

I agree with the above. For a six team league, you're lacking in talent. Your best bet is to post who's available on the waiver wire.

See if you have Mike Williams (Tampa Bay) or Mike Wallace (Pittsburgh) on you waiver wire, if you do? I would start both of them! I would drop Royal and Amendola, for both Wallace and Williams! Then start Collie, Wallace, Williams or Wayne, Wallace, Williams, depending on if Collie is healthy! Mike Wallace is getting ready to breakout, since Big Ben is back, that is his favorite target! Williams has been solid all year!

Thanks for all the advice so far! I really appreciate it

Because some of you asked, here are some of the available RBs and WRs...
RBs
Darren McFadden OAK
Mike Tolbert SD
Joseph Addai IND --haven't picked up because i already have so many colts on my team and when they play bad my whole team suffers
Jason Snelling ATL
Brandon Jackson GB
Clinton Portis WAS
Brandon Jacobs DET

WRs
Donald Driver GB
Steve Johnson BUF
Kevin Walter HOU
Roy Williams DAL
Mike Wallace PIT
Nate Washington TEN
Kenny Brit TEN
Jabar Gaffney DEN
Mike Williams TB
Lance Moore NO

With this list of free agents and my current roster (listed in the initial post) who should i start specifically for week 6?


--Once again, thanks for all the help

Mike Wallace PIT is a must start! Big Ben is back, he will look to throw and Mike Wallace is a stud WR!

YES!! pick up Wallace ASAP!

I'd start Forte and Bradshaw - better match ups this week and while I'm happy LT is back in form, I don't start him this week. I think Greene will get more touches than previous games.

Don't dump Amendola yet. It's worth giving it a week to see how well he does stepping up as #1 option. He did well last week after Clayton went down and I think he finds the end zone a time or two this week.
